Xia Ran was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at the blue and white witch on the side, is she really a living god?!

The Fengzhu girl had a complicated expression, lowered her head and didn't know what she was pondering, and didn't notice his gaze at all.

"Yakumo Purple, this kind of thing should be natural, he doesn't have that state of mind and cognition yet, and it's not a good thing, a natural monster like you may not be able to understand it, but for him, maybe it's the best now......"

At this time, Suwako spoke very calmly, she seemed to be a rae who didn't like to talk too much...... God.

"Well, that's right, maybe it's better to let things go with the flow......"

The monster girl thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then she looked at the Lori god.

"But without further ado, let's get back to business, don't you really think about my proposal?"

"Of course we'll consider it, but it's impossible to answer you right now......," Suwako replied noncommittally, "and it's impossible to say that this kind of decision can be made all at once." ”

"Why?" The youkai girl known as Yakumo Purple seemed to be very curious and asked. "Knowing that with the development of mankind, more and more faith in science and intelligence, you can no longer collect faith, right? If you continue like this, you'll disappear......"

"Knowingly, if we continue like this, we will indeed disappear, but that will be for the future......"

The blonde Lori glanced at her impatiently, her tone did not change, but she gave people a feeling of being angry and said-

"If we change the shrine from a human world to a fantasy existence, we will directly lose the remaining faith, and it is difficult to say how long it will survive at that time, and how much power it will have......

Although the rest of the words were not spoken, everyone was not stupid, and they all knew it.

And even if you don't consider the worst and worst situation, for example, Yakumo Purple just wants to trick them in and kill them or something, just consider the most basic issues-

If they lose their remaining faith, they will not only disappear more quickly, but the existing power that can be maintained will also decline significantly, and a large part of it will be lost.

It is indeed true that if they do not collect faith from the outside world, if they continue like this, they will slowly disappear. However, if they move directly into Gensokyo, they will disappear more quickly, so they must use the power of descent to collect faith in Gensokyo in a very limited time.

It's a dilemma –

Is it slowly moving towards destruction, and in enough time to see if there are other variables and possibilities?

Or do you directly give yourself a more difficult challenge mode, and succeed in the challenge within the specified time, and if you don't succeed, you will become ashes?

So of course, this kind of thing can't be said to be able to make up their minds with a bang, especially these gods who have existed for so long, if they were so reckless, they wouldn't have lived to the current era.

"In that case, let's come back later, I hope you will give us a definite answer next time......" Yakumo Zi smiled lightly, and then glanced deeply at Xia Ran not far away, his gaze lingering on his body and the girl behind him.

But this time she didn't say anything more, and disappeared directly into the black crack.

It was as if the pure black crack that tore through the space slowly closed, as if the slender eyes of an invisible creature in another dimension were slowly closing, but the eyes were dotted with blood-red eyes.

- This scene is really indescribably weird, and it makes people shudder.

This monster girl with long blond hair left like this, seemingly a little dissatisfied, but looking at her appearance, she didn't give up her previous thoughts, and she will probably come back in the future.

“……”

“……”

After the departure of the great youkai named Yakumo Murasaki, the worship hall of Moriya Shrine fell into a terrifyingly quiet silence for a while.

No one spoke, and at such a moment, it seemed that even a needle landing on the ground would become very harsh.

In this way, another ten or so seconds passed before Suwako's crisp voice broke the silence.

The god looked at the blue-and-white witch who looked a little stunned and had been silent since just now: "Sanae, you should have heard it just now, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, Suwako-sama."

Sanae of Dongfeng Valley finally came back to her senses at this time and replied in a low voice.

Immediately after a little silence, she couldn't help but ask the question she was a little worried about: "That...... Suwako-sama, are we going to move into that Gensokyo? Won't come back again? ”

This is what the Blue and White Witch is worried and afraid of, and it is precisely because of this that she has been silent from just now until now, and she has not said a word since then-

She has been living in Chiba since she was a child, and she has long been accustomed to the city she lives in, and she is used to the outside environment, so she thought that this rhythm would continue, but she didn't expect that when she came back one day, she heard that she might be moving?

Even if the average person hears that he is going to transfer to an unfamiliar place, he may not immediately accept it, after all, it is not necessarily a good thing to abandon everything familiar and move towards the unknown scenery.

Not to mention that it seems that he wants to say goodbye to the human world completely, and move into such a strange place as "the land of youkai and gods", and he may never come back.

It can be said that what just happened was also a spiritual shock for Sanae in Dongdongya, which made her a little difficult to accept.

But there is no way to object, if it continues like this, both Suwako-sama and Kanako-sama will disappear......

"If you can't find a way, you may have to do it, and it's not the first time this monster has come...... Suwako replied lightly, "But we don't know much about it there, and there is more than one big monster like Yakumo Murasaki, so we don't know if we should take you with us, but it's not safe to leave you alone in the outside world......"

"Suwako-sama, please take me, I'm going with you......" Sanae shook her head, took a deep breath, and her eyes became firm.

"This hasn't been decided yet, and it's not completely devoid of other hopes......" Suwako turned her head slightly to look at Xia Ran, and said pointedly, and then beckoned to the blue and white witch, "Let's go in and talk to Kanako, we still have to discuss this matter." ”

"Oh." The wind girl is like an obedient daughter.,Obediently want to go inside the shrine.。

"You two are also guests, so come in later...... Wait until you're done dealing with your own problems. The blonde Lori looked at Xia Ran and Xue on the side, and added lightly.

She is not as innocent as the Wind Wish Girl, although she looks more immature than the Wind Wish Girl, but the appearance of the god has no meaning.

“……”

“……”

With the departure of Suwako and Sanae Dongfuya, there were only two people left in the shrine for the time being, Xia Ran and Xuexia, the former suddenly relaxed, while the latter had a complicated expression.

"Under the snow, in fact, ......" Xia Ran suddenly turned around, patted the girl's shoulder very familiarly, and then said with a worried face, "We rehearsed it just now, it was a close-up magic show, do you think it's very real?" Almost convinced? ”

"I see...... Do you think I'm going to say that? Xue Zhi nodded expressionlessly, and then held his forehead helplessly, "I'm already enough of a headache now, please don't make trouble again." ”

"Huh? Is that so? Xia Ran was a little puzzled, stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek, "I thought it would be difficult for you to accept this reality, so I want to give you a scientific explanation, so that you can have a step down the ......"

"It's not scientific at all, I thought you were all talking about something like "setting......" Xue Xia lowered his head and sighed deadly, his gaze wandering at his feet.

"So you've come to terms with reality now?" Xia Ran was somewhat unsure.

"Yes, after all, do I refuse to believe that words can negate what has just happened? That's too pale......"

She replied calmly and calmly, if she hadn't deliberately turned around and spoke in the other direction, hiding her expression from Xia Ran.

"Speaking of which, classmate Xia Ran, you seem to have wanted to leave me alone from the beginning? You just don't want me to know these things?! ”

"Yes, it's not the truth of the world that you have to know anyway, and it won't change anything." The boy was very calm about this question, "Then it's better not to know, in that case, it's happier, isn't it?" ”

"You said it lightly, and I'm beginning to wonder if the world is really so peaceful......" Xue Xia gently pressed his forehead again like a headache, "I always feel that what I saw before was fake." ”

"Illusion, illusion, in fact, in an environment like the current one, the world is really not peaceful, and it must be the toss of human beings themselves......" Xia Ran said with a smile, as long as the girl in front of her could accept it, although it seemed to be a very reluctant feeling.

Probably because she has always been calm, and now she is forcing herself to believe and calmly think about how to look at the world again, right? However, this is also normal, and it takes time to repair it after the collapse of the three views.

"Don't be so innocent, aren't you human yourself...... Wait, then again, are you really human? ”

Xue Xia did not hide her impatience, and looked at Xia Ran with her usual somewhat cold expression, but then as if she remembered something, her body suddenly stiffened, and she folded her hands slightly guarded, staring at the young man in front of her.

I always feel that some of the doubts before have been explained...... But it didn't have any positive significance, and it made her suddenly feel cold, as if she was tied up, unable to move.

Although I know that the other party is the person I know, it is very likely that I will ...... Not human......

When this kind of thought appears in the mind, it is still clear like never before, it is really instinctively frightening, especially at this time when you have just come into contact with a strange world under the snow.

"Yes and no...... Does it have that much to do with it? Xia Ran thought for a while, then spread his hands and smiled very happily, without answering this question positively.

Human and non-human are a kind of opposing realms, and the boundaries demarcated appear blurred and precise, broad and narrow.

Because if you exceed the limit of "human", you will naturally become "non-human" -

Just as something is "this" and not something else, because everything has its own characteristics, and has forms and properties that other things do not have.

Once this thing completely changes its original form and attributes, it will naturally become another thing, and it will no longer be the original thing.

To put it simply, a triangle is a triangle because it has three sides, and if it has two more sides, it is a pentagon...... This is roughly how it can be understood.

Of course, it is natural to insist that you still have humanity in your heart and retain the bottom line of people, so you are still human no matter how you become...... After all, no one has stipulated that the name of a pentagon can never be called a "triangle".

Anyway, it's not illegal, you can define it however you like, just like many people, no matter how black your face is, you can say that you have a European heart, although this can't change the essence of the fact that their face is still black......

Xia Ran knew this very well, but his idea was to just go with the flow, neither particularly resisting nor deliberately pursuing.

“……”

“……”

The girl stared earnestly into his eyes, and after a long moment, she suddenly exhaled, and her body seemed to relax.

"Seems to be the same."

She whispered.
